Explore Different Road Conditions

Familiarizing yourself with the road types used during the test can help ease your nerves. In Oregon you’ll likely drive on several of the following road types:

• Residential Streets: Quiet residential streets like South 2nd Street will challenge you to drive at reduced speeds, obey multiple stop signs, and stay alert for pedestrians, cyclists, and parked cars lining the road.
• City Traffic Corridors: Pines Road (IL-64) is an example of an urban route where you will face moderate traffic conditions, multiple intersections, and the need for timely and safe lane changes.
• Major Roads: IL-64 provides an expressway-like environment where your ability to handle higher speeds and execute safe merges might be examined, despite highways not being a standard part of the test.
• Intersections with Traffic Management Devices: Locations like Pines Rd & South 4th St demand that you stop fully at stop signs, yield appropriately to others, and maneuver through complex traffic light sequences while watching for pedestrians.
• Multi-Lane Roads: The test route may include IL-64 by the Oregon SOS, where the multi-lane configuration demands careful attention to lane selection, correct use of signals, and maintaining speed during lane changes to ensure smooth traffic flow.

DMV Behind-The-Wheel Test - What to Expect

Your driving test will require proficiency in a range of tasks, many of which you can practice in advance, including:

1. Starting and Stopping the Vehicle: You’ll need to smoothly start the car, merge into traffic, and stop without jerking. You may be tested on stopping at stop signs, crosswalks, and behind other vehicles.
2. Turning Safely: You will need to make right and left turns using the appropriate signals, keeping within your lane, and ensuring you comply with all traffic regulations for turning.
3. Mirror Awareness and Blind Spot Checks: Throughout the exam, you’ll need to demonstrate proper mirror usage and turn to check blind spots when merging or changing lanes.
4. Emergency Braking: In certain situations, the examiner could test how well you can perform an emergency stop, assessing how swiftly and securely you stop the vehicle.
5. Safe Roadside Maneuver: During your test, you could be asked to pull over as if handling a breakdown and then demonstrate how to safely merge back into traffic.
